I was told MAN was the best when I started looking and I ended up with an Iveco. I think each mechanic has his pet hates, someone I know hates Iveco and loves DAF, mechanic taking mine for its plate says they all have there faults.

It depends on what you are looking for in a lorry.

Ford Iveco - good 7.5T, 3.5T too heavy
Layland Daff - good
Ford Cargo - too old
mercedes - too heavy
Renault - good 3.5T but 7.5T???

Louby, True... but some Horse lorries more than most

 

[Louby]

Im always amazed at the age of some wagons you see especially at local shows, they seem to go and go and go. People say Ford Cargos are rust buckets but theres plenty of them about.

They are rust buckets but they are still reliable and still cherished for that reason.

That's what i want to find out Louby

as on the hunt for a good lorry, 2 horse carrier, bit of living.

Eeeek

Deffo blonde blonde moment.

I think its the luck of the draw really. Iveco chassis Im told are cheaper to buy 2nd hand and the Iveco hating person said that they were good workhorses but like a skoda whereas Daf was like a landy, his words not mine. My Iveco is so powerful and even Iveco hater says it pulls like a train and runs well. Iveco need to be used regular as the brake calipers can stick if they are left to stand. I just make sure I take mine for a run every couple of weeks and touch wood its been great.
Friend has had a Daf for years and hasnt had one bit of trouble with it and she doesnt touch hers for months.
Its a mine field isnt it.

There seems to be LOADS of lorries for sale at the mo and good prices too

but would like to get it right .... seen some lovely Iveco 2 horse boxes. Watch this space!!!!

 

[Louby]

Ooooh good luck. Are you looking for a 7.5t or smaller?

 

[angiebaby]

I have a 7.5t Daf Roadrunner, 19 years old ; No rust whatsoever on it; just sailed through its plating again at a cost of £75

Yipee!!!
